[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 14489028, member: 20202"] That makes sense. I would imagine there maybe some valving differences on the shocks between both set-ups but the shocks are damping the wheel travel and unsprung mass as well as cancelling out the spring reasonance. The spring rate the spindle sees depending on the spring selection could be very close to one another so I don't imagine the optimal damping for either would be drastically different. I'm sure MM knows more about this than anybody but when you order revalved shocks and struts what you going to get are shock rates are going to be somewhat "generic" and not tailored to your car. Wheel weight alone have a huge effect. Trying to optimize compression and rebound for a variety of road surfaces is like trying to catch a moving bus :nonono: [/QUOTE]
